When I woke up from a nap, it was already night and the sky was completely dark.
The office was silent and no one disturbed them.
Ren Tingxi held Lan Xiaolan in his arms and lay on the sofa together.
She rested her head on his arm and slept soundly.
Lan Xiaolan seemed to have not slept so soundly for a long time.
If she hadn't woken up from hunger, she probably wouldn't have been willing to wake up from this gentle embrace.
"What time is it now?"
"It's already late at night. You're sleeping so soundly, I don't want to wake you."
Ren Tingxi stroked her sleepy little face with his warm hands and looked at her lovingly.
"You must be hungry. Let's go back and eat. I've prepared barbecue for you."
When Lan Xiaolan heard this, she excitedly jumped out of Ren Tingxi's arms like a child.
The army was not far from Lan Xiaolan's house in the north of the city, only a ten-minute drive away.
It was pitch black outside the car window, and apart from the sound of car engines on the road, there was silence all around.
Ren Tingxi looked at Lan Xiaolan beside him. Apart from being a little tired, she did not show much fear or tension.
She looked out the window calmly, without any ripples in her heart.
When I was in a good mood, I even hummed a little song.
She was a completely different person from the one who walked out of the hospital this morning.
He knew that she had slowly learned to overcome her inner fears. Seeing the changes in Lan Xiaolan, Ren Tingxi felt very comforted.
Finally the trip was worthwhile.
When I returned to the cottage outside the north of the city, I saw a completely new scene.
In addition to the previous white cottage, there was actually a very large house next to it.
The house is made from four large shipping containers and has been painted white and brown.
Several large windows were opened on the outer wall of the container. Looking inside through the windows, you can see that the house is brightly lit.
From the outside, the new house looks like it has added a bit of artistic atmosphere.
"What is this?" Lan Xiaolan looked at Ren Tingxi in confusion, wondering what surprise he was preparing for her.
"Our new home."
"New home?"
"Yes, I redeemed Nusi. She had no place to live, so we gave her the house we used to live in."
"From now on, she can live in the house next to yours at night and follow you during the day. It will be safer with her protecting you 24 hours a day."
"So, what is this new house?"
"Actually, I had this idea when I first came here. I wanted to build a new house for you, but time was too short and the conditions were limited."
"Thank goodness, we found these four containers. Don't be fooled by their appearance; their exteriors are all made of aviation materials."
"I reinforced the house twice. It's not only bulletproof and fireproof, but it can also withstand earthquakes of magnitude 10 or above. It's very safe."
Leng Leng and Ruth were busy grilling food outside, while Ren Tingxi took Lan Xiaolan to visit their new home.
Four containers divide the word into four parts.
The two rooms facing the river are the bedroom and the bathroom.
The bedroom has a complete set of home furnishings, two large beds, half-wall-sized windows beside the beds, a bay window outside, and even many green plants.
The room is decorated in beige, which makes it look very comfortable.
Ren Tingxi designed the room next door into a functional structure that serves as a restroom.
Half of the space inside is used as a water reservoir.
In the area of Country E, one-third of the year is dry season, and there is no rain all year round.
If there is a severe drought, there may not be any rain for more than a year.
So Ren Tingxi set up this reservoir to ensure daily water supply for the house.
There is also a bathtub next to it. Lan Xiaolan likes to take a bath, so the bathtub is placed here so that she can relax herself after work.
Of course, bathtubs may have other uses.
The two container houses in front are used as a living room and an office respectively.
On the left is a living room, which is equipped with projection equipment, comfortable lazy sofas, and cozy wool carpets.
The middle connecting the two rooms is designed as an open kitchen, and the traditional earthen stove has been replaced by modern kitchen equipment.
Ren Tingxi is responsible for cooking at home, so in the whole house, only this open kitchen is designed according to Ren Tingxi's preferences.
The last room is designed as an office.
Two sets of side-by-side office desks and chairs were placed near the window, making it convenient for Ren Tingxi and Lan Xiaolan to work together at the same time.
There is also a long desk in the middle. Ren Tingxi's work needs sometimes require the team to come here for meetings and discussions.
There is also a whole row of storage space along the wall in the office, as Lan Xiaolan's work requires a lot of space for organizing documents.
Ren Tingxi carefully considered almost every detail.
In just a few days, Ren Tingxi had accomplished so many things. Lan Xiaolan actually knew in her heart that he must have made a lot of preparations in advance for this new home.
"When we were in college, I promised you that I would give you a home that belonged to the two of us."
"This is our first new home. Consider it my wedding gift to you."
Designing and building a house by yourself as a wedding gift, perhaps this is the unique romance of architects.
After visiting her new home, Lan Xiaolan couldn't help but admire her. She looked at Ren Tingxi in disbelief, and felt warm in her heart.
Nu Si and Leng Lie had already prepared a bonfire with the barbecued food on it, and the aroma of the delicious food could be smelled from afar.
Now, Lan Xiaolan was even hungrier.
Nusi stared at the pig in front of her, staring blankly, lost in thought.
"Nusi, what's wrong? You look like you have a lot on your mind."
Ren Tingxi sat behind Lan Xiaolan and winked at Nusi, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Nusi saw Ren Tingxi's cold eyes out of the corner of her eye and immediately understood what he meant.
"No...nothing. I've been waiting for you guys for too long today. Maybe I'm a little tired."
Think about today, under Ren Tingxi's order, Leng Leng took him to visit the seventy-two tortures from the ancient East.
And now this perverted and terrifying boss can actually sit next to Lan Xiaolan so calmly, as if nothing had happened.
It seems that Boss Ren, who redeemed her, is indeed an extraordinary person. In the future, when I follow him and Lan Xiaolan, I have to be careful.
Everyone was very satisfied after enjoying the barbecue dinner.
"It's better to rest early. We have several important guests coming to visit us tomorrow."
"Oh? What important guest?"
"They are all friends you have met and know. You will know tomorrow."
